"Chief executive officer Rhys Holleran has spoken with the presenters. They are both deeply shocked and at this time we have agreed that they not comment about the circumstances. SCA and the hosts have decided that they will not return to their radio show until further notice out of respect for what can only be described as a tragedy."

The company also said that it was "deeply saddened" by Saldanha's death, "and we extend our deepest sympathies to her family and all that have been affected by this situation around the world".
